position of few days ago. 1t IS especially ju-
bllant over the construction of a railway be-
tween Canton. Tien-Tsin and Pekin. which it
believes will benefit England quite much as
America or China, and At no expense to Great
Britain. It says however. that the development
OF China should not be too sudden, the rapid
opening of channels of immigration being too
serious matter to be obscured by the dazzle of
a business enterprise, and fears that the estab-
hshment of an extensive system of railroads
connecting the interior with the treaty ports
would bring abont the dangerous possibility that
Chinese labor would invade Europe unless
proper safeguards were employed With this
danger removed by legislation similar to that
now in force in America, the work of the
syndicate cannot fail to be of immense
benefit to Europe. and especially TO England.

means mechanism" which may be
strued to so broaden and expand the invention
that everything in the art is covered. all future
inventions are req uired to pay tribute. and the
public perpetually taxed. The Commissions
says that the office is required 10 be vigiiant
that an application shall not obtain Claims
which mislead vex, and harass the general pub
lie. but hold him his distinct invention as
set forth in his claims not what it is capable OF
being expanded into by general and indefinite
language. The Commissioner holds that while q
patentee is at liberty to employ such language
and phrases as he elects, he is required to point
out his particular invention so that the people
may not be deluded. nor the inventive genius OF
the public deferred or frightened from pursuits
in the same art or field of invention by a patent
containing equivocal claims which, in effect,
would suppress all further improvement
The Commissioners has directed that extern
sion of the patent for a certain futing machine
be extended seven years from June l, 1883
This will be the first case in ten years in which
an extension of patent has been granted. The
last case was in 1877, when the patent on wood
pulp was extended for seven years. making the
total life of She patent twenty four years This
extension OF the life OF patent was at that
time condemned by popular opinion, and Tor
that reason no enabling acts Of this character
have been adopted by Congress.
